Active systems, which are driven out of equilibrium, can produce long range correlations and large fluctuations that are not restricted by the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. We consider here the fluctuations and correlations in suspensions of swimming microorganisms that interact hydrodynamically. Modeling the organisms as force dipoles in Stokes flow and considering run-and-tumble and rotational diffusion models of their orientational dynamics allow derivation of closed form results for the stress fluctuations in the long-wave limit. Both of these models lead to Lorentzian distributions, in agreement with some experimental data. These fluctuations are not restricted by the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, as is explicitly verified by comparing the fluctuations with the viscosity of the suspension. In addition to the stress fluctuations in the suspension, we examine correlations between the organisms. Because of the hydrodynamic interactions, the velocities of two organisms are correlated even if the po...
